Since 2017 he is the founding director of the QUEST Center for Transforming Biomedical Research at the Berlin Institute of Health. QUEST aims at overcoming the roadblocks in translational medicine by increasing the value and impact of biomedical research through maximizing the quality, reproducibility, generalizability, and validity of research.

In preclinical as well as in clinical studies Ulrich Dirnagl’s research has revealed pathobiology which impact on the outcome after a stroke. These include deleterious as well as endogenous protective mechanisms, as interactions of the brain with other systems of the body after it has been injured. Several of these mechanism can be therapeutically targeted, clinical trials are under way. In addition, through meta-research he was able to identify opportunities for improving research practice and to obtain evidence for the impact of interventions targeted to increase the value of biomedical research.

Anita Bandrowski

speakers_info
Dr Bandrowski trained as a bench neurophysiologist, working to elucidate physiological mechanisms of learning and epilepsy. However, soon after postdoc, Dr. Bandrowski began to work in data, starting with the annotation of the human genome for Celera Inc. Dr. Bandrowski moved to neuroinformatics with the award of the Neuroscience Information Framework by the NIH’s Blueprint for Neuroscience. The goal of this project was to create a comprehensive list of databases for neuroscience and to federate search across as many of these databases as possible. The framework grew to the most comprehensive search system for neuroscience data on the web. This broad overview of the data landscape highlighted the need to align and structure data and dearth of reagent information, especially how reagents and tools are cited in the scientific literature.

This broad overview of the data landscape highlighted the need to align and structure data and dearth of reagent information, especially how reagents and tools are cited in the scientific literature.

The process of data curation is the structuring and aligning of data to meet the needs of some downstream group, mechanism, or database. Dr. Bandrowski’s work was initially to structure data into a particular format, to meet the needs of the PANTHER database, however, her role moved to creating data structures that are accessible to multiple systems, or FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable); leading interdisciplinary teams to create community standards, and structuring data into formats that are accessible to artificial intelligence systems.

To address reagent underreporting issues, Dr. Bandrowski serves as the lead for the Research Resource Identification, RRID, Initiative, a group dedicated to transforming scholarly communication, which has recently become a non-profit organization. RRIDs are unique identifiers for Key Biological Resources, aggregated by our group from community databases and requested from authors in participating journals. |

Aaron Peikert earned his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Psychology at Humboldt University in Berlin (HU). One of the first things he learned in Introduction to Research Methods was that about half of what he would be taught during his studies was wrong: Ever since, he has been trying to figure out which half that is. In this quest, he initially focused on statistical methods and psychometrics as a student assistant at HU’s Department of Diagnostics. He broadened his view and focused on Open Science practices in general when he joined the “Formal Methods Group in Lifespan Psychology” at the Max Plank Institute for Human Development (MPIB) as a student assistant, where he now continues his quest as a PhD student. At MPIB, his research focuses on computational reproducibility and philosophy of open science. To achieve computational reproducibility (getting the same results from the same data), he integrated best practices from software engineering and research. His goal is to convince researchers that software engineering tools are necessary for data analytic research, and to increase the usability of these tools. Along the way, he is actively developing the software StructuralEquationModels.jl and exploring the utility of regularized structural equation models for theory development and random effects approaches for machine learning algorithms.

Abstracts of the lectures

Tuesday

1. Setting the scene: open research, reproducibility, and research culture by Laura Fortunato

I will briefly outline key concepts at the interface between open research and research culture, including for example definitions of reproducibility and how they apply across fields. I will then introduce Reproducible Research Oxford and the UK Reproducibility Network as examples of researcher-led efforts that aim to contribute practical solutions at this interface.

2. Research ethics by Jonathan Kimmelmann

Ethical conduct of research and current ethical problems.

3. Waste and Value by Ulrich Dirnagl

Wednesday

2. Preregistration by Celine Heinl

Preregistration is a proven tool to increase research quality and reporting. By registering a study plan before starting experiments in a public registry or submitting it to a journal, questionable research practices and publication bias can effectively be addressed. Preregistration is already mandatory in clinical research but remains optional in other research fields.

In this talk, we will address how preregistration could improve science and explain how early career researchers can benefit from it. We will introduce the different possibilities of preregistration and talk about their practicability in academia.

3. Replication by Ulf Toelch

There is a growing meta research literature indicating that a surprising number of study results are not reproducible. In this lecture, I will highlight causes of non-reproducible results. Specifically, I will discuss why non-reproducible results are actually to be expected. Drawing from psychology and biomedicine examples I will lay out when and how to replicate towards efficient and reliable research.

Thursday

1. Meta Research by Tracey Weissgerber

2. RRIDs for key resources: an easy way to improve reproducibility of manuscripts by Anita Bandrowski

Research Resource Identification, RRID, Initiative, a group dedicated to transforming scholarly communication, will be discussed as well as the SciScore tool, which helps to reduce the burden of authors trying to improve their papers.

Friday

1. Why open science must be inclusive by Cassandra Gould van Praag

Discussion around why research may be more robust if it is inclusive, and consideration of the impact of poor inclusivity on the individual and field as a whole.

3. Transparency initiatives by Marike Schiffer & Student journal Berlin Exchange Medicine by Lara Weber and Raphael Leuner

Tuesday

1. Virtue Ethics: How to be a good researcher by Marlene Stoll

In research, we are sometimes faced with situations in which there is no crystal clear “right” or “wrong”, “good” or “bad”. Sometimes, we have to make difficult decisions. Although there are plenty of guidelines and codices, it is sometimes not easy to translate these rules into action. In the workshop, I will give a short introduction on the topic of research integrity and virtue ethics before we then talk about your experiences and do small exercises where you learn to reflect upon research integrity issues individually and as a group. There will also be time for exchange in small groups and for plenary discussions.

2. REDUCE: Determination of power and sample size for (animal) experiments by Lars Lewejohann

Calculating a sensible sample size is one of the most critical components of planning any research project. This is especially true for animal studies, where ethical aspects of animal welfare must be considered in addition to the pure scientific merit. The sample size must be chosen so that as few animals as possible are used, but at the same time the result should be statistically reliable. It must be emphasized here that too little numbers of animals may lead to overlooking biologically meaningful differences. In such a case, the animals, even if only a few, would have been used to no purpose. The calculation of the sample size depends on various factors. In this workshop, these factors will be evaluated and illustrated in hands on experiments and statistical exercises.

3. Intro to R by Anja Collazo and Meggie Danziger

Welcome to the R universe! In our interactive class room, we will get you started by familiarizing you with the open-source programming software R, the R-environment, data import/export and powerful packages for beginners. Through group-work you will learn first-and-easy steps on how to translate your goals for data wrangling, visualization and statistical analysis into R-language. Along the way, you will learn how to establish a reproducible workflow through R.

4. Systematic Review and Meta Analyses by Alexandra Bannach-Brown

Systematic review and meta-analysis are powerful tools to provide an unbiased overview of all available literature addressing a specific research question.

This workshop will outline what systematic review and meta-analysis are, give powerful examples of how they can be applied in biomedicine, and what is involved in the entire process. This session will cover a brief introduction to each step of the systematic review and meta-analysis process, from what makes a good research question and how to develop a protocol, to data extraction and meta-analysis. At each step you will be provided with resources, links, and homework activities to allow you to get started independently. We will cover standards (e.g. PRISMA) for conducting and reporting your systematic review to ensure high quality reviews.

For more information on Preclinical Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis, please see http://camarades.de/

5. REPLACE: Standardisation and validation of test methods by Michael Oelgeschlaeger, Kostja Renko and Tanja Burgdorf & Lab Visit: Primary human lung tissue and organoids for replacement of animal research by Kantja Hoenzke

In vitro methods from basic science, reflecting “human” physiological processes, may also serve as assays to identify hazards and risks in toxicological testing. Thereby they gain additional translational value and might qualify as alternative or complementary methods to animal testing.

In this workshop we present the basic principles of standardisation and validation of new methods that allow regulatory acceptance of data for toxicological hazard identification or risk assessment. These principles are based on accepted OECD Guidance (Guidance Document on the Validation and International Acceptance of New or Updated Test Methods for Hazard Assessment) and Good in vitro Method Practise (GIVIMP) and ensure that a method is reliable (reproducible) and relevant for a given purpose.

This process is often refered to as time- and resource demanding, delaying the implementation of novel methods. We will discuss the reasons for delays in validation processes and also discuss novel approaches to validate and combine methods into testing strategies using the adverse-outcome pathway (AOP) concept

Using primary human material as well as organoids for ex vivo disease modeling efficiently supports translational research and fosters the mechanistic understanding of human lung disease. The course will give an overview of advantages, application areas and limitations of these two models. Practically human lung tissue explants and organoids will be phenotypically characterized by confocal and live cell imaging.

Wednesday

1. Data visualization: How to identify and fix common problems by Vladislav Nachev

2. Preregistration of animal studies by Julia Menon

This workshop focuses on the preregistration of animal study protocols and is divided into 3 parts.

Part 1 starts with a short introduction on the benefits of preregistration for animal studies, followed by the description and live demonstration of 3 platforms where preregistration can be done.

Part 2: after this theoretical part, participants will have an interactive discussion about preregistration, and notably about barriers and facilitators to animal studies preregistration.

Part 3: Participants will have a PC exercise where they can try to either register their own study or register an exercise protocol.

3. Preregistration: Why, What, Why Not, How by Malika Ihle

In this workshop I will give argue why creating a pre-analysis plan before conducting a study allows to prevent bias in empirical research. I will then give an overview of what preregistration and registered reports are, and review what detailed information they should contain. We will then collectively discuss benefits and disadvantages of embracing such practices, as well as possible fears and concerns. I will end by giving an overview of how to preregister in practice by giving a brief tutorial of the Open Science Framework preregistration plateform.

4. Publish my protocol workshop by Rene Bernard

During this workshop, participants will learn about depositing a protocol on protocols.io and what is needed to prepare a companion “Lab protocol” publication to submit to PLoS One. This new article type is designed to make research methods more transparent and reproducible by pairing a living protocol, deposited on protocols.io, with a brief Lab Protocol publication. This also allows authors to obtain credit for their methods development work by obtaining a peer-reviewed, published article. The method does not have to be a completely new invention but can be a variation or extension for a traditional or existing method that will benefit the research community.

Participants are encouraged to bring a research protocol they would like to publish or privately enter into protocols.io. We will try to group participants with similar methodologies.

Thursday

1. Reproducible Research in R: A Workshop on How to Do the Same Thing More Than Once by Aaron Peikert

Computational reproducibility is the ability to obtain identical results from the same data with the same computer code.

The high rate of irreproducible research limits the reach of results and decreases the efficiency of researchers.

Reproducible research is a building block for transparent and cumulative science because it enables the originator and other researchers, on other computers and later in time, to reproduce and thus understand how results came about.

Many researchers want their readers to get a deep understanding of their research and therefore want to work reproducibly, but it is not easy.

Considerable time is required to acquire the skills required for reproducible research, and the path is lined with pitfalls.

This workshop gets researchers up to speed on how to create reproducible data analyses in R (and beyond).

Specifically, researchers learn to automate the whole process from raw data to publishable manuscripts.

This automation is possible by combining dynamic document generation (via R Markdown), version control (via Git), workflow orchestration (via Make) and software management (via Docker).

These tools and, therefore, automatic reproduction of results are available on any machine with Docker installed.

The resulting workflow is, hence, highly transferable across machines and time.

These core properties of reproducibility are demonstrated for any reader by automatically reproducing the manuscript online.

2. REFINE by Kai Diederich

Scientific data from animals is questionable if the animals are not healthy and do not feel as comfortable as possible. In this workshop, we will discuss why the welfare of laboratory animals is critical to their suitability as model organisms for biological studies. We will explore how animal welfare can be objectively measured and what steps need to be taken to ensure optimal welfare during and outside of the experiment. We will discuss whether laboratory animals can become pathologically bored and how species-appropriate husbandry can prevent this. We will also introduce new approaches for analyzing animal behavior using deep learning techniques.

3. Science Communications - Why every researcher needs communication skills by Stefanie Seltmann and Katharina Kalhoff

You will hear about the daily work of a science communication office, learn why communicating is essential for every scientist and you will get some useful tipps and tricks on how to explain your research to a lay audience. And of course, you will acquire some practice by explaining your own research and will have lots of fun!

4. Version control with Git by Malika Ihle

In this facilitated self-paced tutorial, you will learn the basic concepts of version control. You will then practice version control using RStudio as one of many possible GUI interfaces that can interact with Git. You will learn how to use version control for your own workflow (Git within RStudio with backup online on GitHub) and for collaborative coding (fork, clone, pull requests on Github). The tutorials can be found at: https://malikaihle.github.io/Introduction-RStudio-Git-GitHub/ and https://malikaihle.github.io/Collaborative-RStudio-GitHub/. The targeted audience are complete novices regarding version control or Git, and who use RStudio at least occasionally.

Barcamp

Introduction to Barcamp

A Barcamp (or “unconference”) is an open meeting with open workshops that has no predefined program and no predefined speakers. Only the time schedule and the maximum number of topics are specified in advance. The content of Open and Responsible Research in the Life Sciences and the procedure are developed and self-organized by the participants. A Barcamp should enable all participants to present their own projects, ideas or questions in order to discuss these with other interested participants in so-called ‘sessions’. The main focus is on the exchange of experiences and ideas in order to promote different perspectives.

Course of the Barcamp at the Summer School

First we will explain the Barcamp framework, as well as the topic selection and the schedule development. We will have time for a total of 15 possible topics, of which 3 or more sessions can be attended.

Then you will get the time to suggest and briefly describe your topics of interest that you would like to discuss in the upcoming Barcamp hours. Thereafter, the group develops a session schedule by writing the suggested topics on a whiteboard or by using Post-it notes, considering the prespecified time. Timeslots can be occupied multiple times by different topics if there are more topics than timeslots. You (as a group) can decide whether to group similar topics into one session. Once all timeslots are filled, you can write your name under the topics you are interested in. By this, you directly decide which session you would like to attend. Without interested participants a session will not take place. Within a session, each participant is a speaker and responsible for an interactive and friendly discussion. One protocolist volunteers.

Goal

The goal of a Barcamp is to provide a lively platform for participants to connect, network, exchange ideas and engage in discussions. It depends on the dynamics of the participants. It’s possible to increase level of knowledge through information exchange, to develop new (project) ideas or concrete results. These concrete results can arise if, for example, questions from the participants are answered.

A friendly, respectfully and tolerant atmosphere is expected and contributes to the success of a Barcamp.

Rules of a Barcamp:

1. What is discussed is determined by you.

2. One question can be sufficient input to start a session

3. Present your topic briefly and concisely.

4. There can be as many sessions as there are rooms.

5. A session can take place if it interests at least two people.

6. One person can offer more than one session.

7. Each session is documented.

8. It is okay to leave a session in the middle. (if you can’t contribute to the session or you don’t benefit from attending)

9. A session lasts no longer than 45 minutes.

In case you don’t have enough time for a good conversation or networking during the Barcamp, you will have the opportunity to continue at the following Welcome Reception over some drinks and snacks.
